[quote=”DavidCMurray”]Being beyond any hope of actual improvement,
That’s funny! But seriously, thanks for the tip. I’ll put him on my list.
The insurance companies are going to try importing and imbedding the US corporate attitude regarding health to CR:
Medical care is only useful for profiting off of and the only goal is to extort insane profits by any means possible.
I hope the Costa Ricans are aware of what they are getting into and hold their ground.
I normally don’t add much here but after reading this article it just started eating at me until I had to post something in defense of the woman who killed herself. What I found offensive and suspect others did to is this woman being labeled “selfish.” Bottom line: how can you be “selfish” when you aren’t thinking clearly enough to be selfish? Who here has made their best decisions riddled with pain? Furthermore, how many of us have been in so much pain that we’ve successfully pulled a suicide off (zero.) So we can never know if this woman was being selfish or not-I suspect those were not her intentions. Our labels are meaningless and damaging, especially to the loved ones left behind. Furthermore, the author is automatically biased because of her connection to those that this suicide is causing further damage to so she wouldn’t be able to pen this objectively in the first place. Along those lines this demonstrates why we strive to pick “impartial” juries for our court systems. Think of how the tone of the article would have changed had someone outside the immediate circumstances penned it? No blame, I just think the author was too deeply involved with those affected to create a truely balanced article.
